A feeling of heaviness, pressure, or something "coming down" in the pelvic area is one of the most common — and most under-discussed — women's health issues. Pelvic organ prolapse affects 1 in 3 women who have given birth, yet most never seek help. You don't have to live with it.
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) occurs when the muscles and tissues supporting the pelvic organs — the bladder, uterus, or rectum — weaken and allow those organs to descend into or bulge through the vaginal wall. It is graded from Stage 1 (mild, no symptoms) to Stage 4 (complete prolapse).
Most women with Stage 1–3 prolapse can be managed effectively without surgery through targeted pelvic floor rehabilitation, lifestyle adjustments, and supportive care. Surgery is not the only answer — and for many women, it's not the right first step.
Our pelvic floor physiotherapists create individualised rehabilitation programs based on the type, stage, and symptoms of your prolapse. Treatment focuses on strengthening the pelvic floor, reducing intra-abdominal pressure, and restoring functional movement.
Personalised strengthening and coordination exercises — the foundation of conservative prolapse management and shown to reduce symptom severity significantly.
We advise on pessary use for symptom management while rehabilitation progresses — particularly for women who need immediate symptom relief.
Teaching correct lifting technique, reducing straining, and optimising posture to minimise downward pressure on the pelvic floor.
Addressing constipation and bladder urgency — both of which worsen prolapse — through habit retraining and diet guidance.
Safe, graded return to exercise, yoga, and daily activities without worsening prolapse — many activities can be adapted rather than abandoned.
Myofascial release and targeted soft tissue work to relieve pelvic tension, improve circulation, and reduce discomfort in the pelvic region.
A thorough pelvic health assessment — including your birth history, symptoms, and functional goals. We determine the severity and type of prolapse and explain your options clearly.
Your physiotherapist creates a structured 8–12 week program with specific exercises, lifestyle modifications, and milestones. Most women see meaningful improvement within 6 weeks.
Guided sessions to progress your exercises, monitor symptom change, and adjust the plan. We track your improvement at every visit.
A home maintenance program and clear guidance on what activities to continue, modify, or avoid — so your recovery holds long-term.
Not necessarily. Research consistently shows pelvic floor muscle training significantly reduces prolapse symptoms in Stage 1–3 cases. Surgery is typically considered when conservative treatment has been tried adequately and symptoms remain severe. We always recommend trying physiotherapy first.
It can, particularly if contributing factors like constipation, heavy lifting, or high-impact exercise continue unchecked. Early intervention prevents worsening. Many women with mild prolapse keep it stable for years with the right exercises and habits.
Yes. Pelvic floor muscles respond to training at any age. Oestrogen decline during menopause weakens pelvic tissues, but targeted rehabilitation still produces meaningful symptom improvement. We tailor programs specifically for postmenopausal women.
Yes — with guidance. Many forms of exercise are safe with prolapse, and some are specifically beneficial. High-impact activities and heavy lifting may need to be modified. Our therapists guide you on what to do, what to adapt, and what to temporarily avoid.
Initial hands-on assessment is strongly recommended in-clinic. Follow-up sessions, exercise coaching, and educational support can be done online via Google Meet for NRI and outstation clients.
